Archlinux Gaming Repository

Stythys · 2008-06-28 03:02:34

Hey all!

A few of us have put together an arch gaming repo, which is basically a collection of some of the popular games in [unsupported], to save archers compilation time. We've also patched up many broken games that wouldn't compile. Visit our wiki for more information.

Thanks Stythys.

This will save me time in building the packages for arch-live.

Very much thanks, Sir. I do appreciate this kind of efforts, if it weren't for our community using Arch Linux would not be as fun as it is now.

Berticus · 2008-06-28 04:14:50

Sweet, will be needing this soon once I have all the other programs I need.

Sp4rkR4t · 2008-06-28 04:31:19

Excellent work, this is why I love Arch.

chimeric · 2008-06-28 11:49:52

Woah! That's nice! Thank's for your efforts + keep up the good work!

rocknrolf77 · 2008-07-08 11:53:24

Thanks for a much needed repo

oliwer · 2008-07-08 21:46:43

Thank you VERY much ! Although it would be great if you could get better mirrors.

Raisuli · 2008-07-09 01:51:18

This is great. Thank you!

Stythys · 2008-09-23 06:19:37

Alrighty, well I was on a brief hiatus there for a month or so, but back now. We've lost a few packagers but a couple of us are still going to maintain the repo. There still an interest in keeping this around?

josomebody · 2008-09-23 13:44:51

I use it. If needed I could occasionally do some packaging. Probably not full-time, but if the need is unusual here and there.

Daenyth · 2008-09-24 19:54:48

Talk to us on IRC in #archlinux-gaming and we can set you up.

Stythys · 2008-10-27 21:23:13

alrighty guys, big update.

We've moved to a new arch server (yay! ), and finally did a complete update on our database and wiki.

Thanks to our team (especially Black Mage ), we are proud to announce that *every* single open source game that wouldn't compile, we have fixed

happy gaming!

ChoK · 2008-10-27 22:55:17

Very nice
Keep the good work going

edit : it seems that the repository status wiki as many packages wrong-listed as non free (enemy territory, palneshift, padman, savage ...) that actually are free, maybe not open-source. It can be confusing

Stythys · 2008-10-27 23:04:49

every game on our repo is obviously free in monetary terms

the "free" category on our wiki refers to free software as described here. everything else is considered non-free.

soon, actually, I think we're introducing a third category "open", where the source is available, but you can't modify/redistribute it, etc.

Excellent work guys, appreciated!

catwell · 2009-01-04 19:46:46

Hi guys,

I think there's somethong wrong with your openal-soft package, see below:

[20:36 TA|catwell] pacman -Si openal-soft
Repository     : arch-games
Name           : openal-soft
[...]
Replaces       : openal

Because of that, the arch-games users are asked following question every time they Syu:

:: Replace openal with arch-games/openal-soft? [Y/n]

I think this package shouldn't replace openal. It is indeed an optional replacement for openal but not an update. Is it possible to change that?

Stythys · 2009-03-23 17:38:13

Most of our third-party mirrors are out of date...if anyone is using them please switch to our main one. Thanks.

CheesyBeef · 2009-03-23 18:24:05

Very awesome, thanks so much! This makings installing games a lot easier. I also appreciate the help in #archlinux-games when I was trying to set up the repo

Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties.
Try waiting a few minutes and reloading.
(Can't contact the database server: Unknown database 'arch-games' (localhost))

do you also provide pkgbuilds? I'm too paranoid to install binary packages from foreign sources

Stythys · 2009-03-24 09:39:30

yes we do, Dieter@be. Their located on our website

pikiweb · 2009-06-01 17:17:11

what happened to the repo??? (or to its main page: http://arch-games.twilightlair.net/wiki … /Main_Page returns a nice error since a while: arch-games has a problem blablabla...)

Stythys · 2009-06-01 17:25:08

ah, sorry. The link in the OP was outdated. Check it now.

perfect!!

it could be nice to update the link on the Arch's Project page too (or ask someone to do so!)
